About Pałac Branickich w Białymstoku
The Branicki Palace forms a residence-and-gardens complex near the center of Białystok. The façade and the layout of the exterior spaces make it clear that this was a former aristocratic seat that now hosts academic uses and a museum.
The gardens frame views toward the building and help to understand the composition of the ensemble. Visiting interior rooms depends on the circuit offered by the institution; walking around the exterior does not give access to all the rooms that make up the palace.
Check the museum’s availability and choose the route according to your interest in architecture or collections. From May to September the gardens usually justify a longer stay. The close proximity to the urban core allows combining the visit with a walk through the central streets without further long transfers.
